Job description

There’s nothing like a great night’s sleep—the cozy, wrapped-up-in-a-heavy-blanket kind of sleep. The fire-crackling, curtains-drawn, DO NOT DISTURB kind of sleep. You know, the good stuff.

But here’s the thing: while 85% of people agree sleep is the key to their well-being, more than half are unsatisfied with their own. Whether it’s stress, interruptions, work, or little ones waking in the night, so many people need help getting truly restorative rest.

That’s where we come in. At Hatch, we’re on a mission to help people build better sleep habits—so they can feel more focused, energized, and present in their lives. We’ve designed best-in-class smart sleep devices, paired with science-backed sleep content, to help people unwind nightly, sleep deeply, and wake gently. More than 5 million sleepers of all ages have made space for rest with Hatch, with our baby products in 1 in 3 nurseries and our adult product, Restore, taking over nightstands (and TikTok) worldwide.

The Role: VP, Controller

We’re seeking a seasoned and solution-oriented VP, Controller to lead our Accounting organization and bring clarity, control, and operational excellence to Hatch’s financial processes and infrastructure. This is a pivotal leadership role for someone who thrives on structure, loves process, is analytical and finds satisfaction in building resilient systems and processes that scale.

You’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling our accounting function while helping guide the company’s financial health with strong GAAP compliance, robust internal controls, and thoughtful decision-making. You’ll oversee our full spectrum of accounting operations—month-end close, compliance, system / process improvements, automation, and cash management—while managing both local and remote teams. This is a unique opportunity to build the backbone of a high-growth business that is on a mission to revolutionize the sleep industry, while working alongside cross-functional teams bringing business knowledge, expertise, and clarity to every interaction.

You’ll report to our Chief Financial Officer and help shape the future of Hatch’s financial operations.

What You’ll Do

• Immerse yourself in Hatch’s sleep ecosystem, economic model and accounting close process
• Develop relationships with all cross-functional team members and develop a basic understanding for all critical cycles (quote-to-cash, procure-to-pay, inventory life-cycle, payroll, equity awards, and reporting)
• Help CFO smoothly transition responsibility for managing the Accounting function from an Interim Controller
• Take ownership of month-end close, accounting policy documenting, balance sheet reconciliations, and internal controls
• Lead and refine our month-end close process with improved timeliness while maintaining high quality
• Within 6 Months:
• Prepare GAAP-compliant accounting policy documentation (including judgements / estimates) for all critical areas
• Identify, document, and communicate opportunities to streamline key workflows (AR, AP, Rev Rec, Payroll, Inventory) without disrupting business momentum
• Streamline accounting processes and enhance reporting capabilities
• Optimize accounting infrastructure to support complex reporting needs across subscription and hardware revenue
• Execute thoughtful allocation schematic to enable accurate unit economics reporting and financial analysis
• Identify key internal controls and document / analyze with clarity for audit-readiness and scale
• Build and mentor a high-performing accounting team, local and outsourced, creating room for scale and ownership
• Own, manage and continuously improve the close process and annual audit documentation with the idea of planning for public company readiness
• Apply and enforce revenue recognition policy and accounting across Hatch’s physical product and subscription businesses
• Build and maintain strong cross-functional partnerships with operational teams including marketing, product, operations, people, content
• Oversee subscriber activity tracking and revenue recognition for free and premium content offering
• Oversee all accounting-related systems (NetSuite, FloQast, Bill.com, Carta and others)
• Partner with external auditors, tax consultants and tax return filers, leading audit prep and income and sales tax compliance
• Lead annual insurance renewals
• Provide strategic input on contract structures and approvals
• Identify business risk areas and recommend solutions
• Establish Hatch as a model of accounting excellence, with clear, consistent processes and empowered team members
• Support Investor and Board-level financial reporting
• Be a trusted thought partner to the CFO and Executive team
• Scale accounting infrastructure to support international expansion ensuring compliance with GAAP, tax regulations, and cross-border operational needs

What You’ll Bring

• 12+ years of progressive Accounting experience, with 5+ years in a Controller, Assistant Controller, or senior accounting leadership role
• CPA required; public accounting background a plus
• Deep fluency in US GAAP and reporting, including ASC 606, subscription and hardware revenue, inventory accounting, equity transactions, and reporting
• Business model experience in ecommerce and recurring revenue businesses
• Track record of successful ERP implementations and financial system integrations and reporting improvements
• Experience navigating high-growth environments, cross-functional operations, and investor relations
• Excellent project management, team leadership, and communication skills
• A steady hand in complex situations, with the warmth and clarity to lead through change
